Which statement best illustrates that problem solving can create new medical devices? Robert Hooke was in charge of verifying th
e information that was sent to the Royal academy. William Harvey did experiments with apes to learn about the circulatory system. The stethoscope was invented because the physician did not want to put his head on women's chests to listen to their heart and lungs. Antoin Van Leeuwenhoek was a very curious man and looked at just about everything under this microscope.
The correct answer is option ''The stethoscope was invented because the physician did not want to put his head on women's chests to listen to their heart and lungs''.
In this case, the problem was that the physician's had a problem in listening the heart beats and the lung sound of the woman. To overcome this problem, the stethoscope was invented to listen the heart beat and the lung sound from distance, without keeping head on women's chest.
